Gelo Ball, also known as LiAngelo Ball, performed his viral hit "Tweaker" during a timeout during the first quarter of the Detroit Lions-Washington Commanders matchup Saturday night at Ford Field in Detroit in the NFC divisional round of the NFL playoffs.
The Lions have ties to the viral hit -- Gelo's appearance in Detroit comes after the Lions locker room endorsed his song. After defeating the Minnesota Vikings on Jan. 5, a locker room video where a Lions player can be heard shouting "Put that Gelo on!" spread on social media. Lions players shared videos dancing along to "Tweaker," which debuted at 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 earlier in January.
Ball, whose brothers LaMelo and Lonzo play in the NBA, also had a short stint as part of the Detroit Pistons training camp roster in 2020.
